This project was created for my cppcon India 2022 talk. This project implements a simple reactor using epoll. The code is documented and easy to understand. Check the unit tests for sample usage. Watch the talk for more details on the reactor pattern.
As this project is using epoll, this library will work only on linux machines. The easiest way to build is to use the utility.sh. Run
./utiltiy.sh -hfor help. This script uses docker for building the library and run tests. If you do not want to use docker for build, you can build using cmake.
cd reactorlib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
makeThe only requirement for the library is C++17 compiler. The unit tests uses catch2.x, address sanitizer (libasan), ub sanitizer(ubsan). So you will need to install all these dependencies as well for running unit tests.
